Love or Attachment? Retreat
With Venerable Robina Courtin
July 27 - 28, 2024
Online only via Zoom
According to Buddha attachment is the main source of our suffering in day-to-day life. A big surprise! We usually confuse it with love, which is necessarily altruistic – the source of our own happiness and capacity to help others.
Attachment is necessarily I-based; dissatisfaction, neediness, expectation, manipulating others to get what I want. Love however is other based: open, kind, clear, the wish for others to be happy.
How do we distinguish them? That’s the key practice. Through meditation and becoming our own therapist, as Lama Yeshe says, we can unpack and unravel our emotions, lessen attachment and other delusions, and grow love and compassion – for our own sake and the sake of others.
All participants welcome.
